You are asked by the management department to benchmark the line. Offer your recommendations and observations. The data collected on the line is as follows. The line runs 24 hours/day (but 20 hours of productive time).
Recent Performance:
TH: 1,141 panels/day
WIP: 24,914 panels
CT: 41.19 days
Find TH and CT for best, worst and practical worst cases
